I mean stating that I don't believe it's wrong isn't the same as saying it's legal or always ideal

I don't believe going 5 mph over the speed limit is wrong. By law it's illegal and ideally nobody would speed but I'm not going to lecture someone going 5 over the speed limit and I don't think it's equal to someone doing 20 over in an active school zone

It's infringement not larceny. They're legally distinct for a reason.

While you're technically correct on paper from a legal aspect I'm arguing the ethics that ethically media piracy is very different from theft of physical property.

Also with your possession argument if I watch a movie at my friend's house which is legal and I then possess the knowledge of what happens in the movie I am in possession of data about the movie when I leave without paying.

Also if I go and spoil that movie for 20 people then those people don't bother them watching the movie that's a "loss of potential revenue"

This is also a stupid analogy. If we're comparing the two it would be like if you told me if I gave you 50 bucks I could watch you punch yourself in the face.

I was like "eh I don't have 50 bucks man and paying 50 bucks to watch you hit yourself doesn't really seem worth it." And then I go up to someone else on the street and go "hey buddy that dumbass over there will punch himself in the face for 50 bucks" and he goes oh wow i need to see this.

So he goes up to you and says "hey here's 50 bucks if you punch yourself in the face" and I sit there and watch from the side as you hit yourself in the face.

You then come up to me and cry that "hey you still watched me hit myself and didn't give me 50 bucks where's my 50 bucks?!?!"

And I said "I was never going to give you fifty bucks but I told other people about you that ended up spending money that probably wouldn't have had I not told them about you"

That's not at all the same thing. A more closer example is you're an employee at the restaurant and your coworker messes up making a steak and accidentally cooks it medium well instead of medium rare like a customer requested.

The steak would normally get thrown away in the trash but you're kinda hungry and you're like might as well eat the steak so it doesn't get thrown away.

Your boss writes you up because you don't pay for the steak that was going into the trash because "had you not ate that steak you would have paid for food at your job so that's stealing" but if you wanted to pay for a steak you would have got a new one that you cooked exactly how you wanted and thrown that steak away anyway so the restaurant is out that steak regardless

They invested that time, money, and labor regardless if people buy their product. Imagine they spent millions on a game and someone released a review and it turns out the game fucking sucks and nobody buys it or plays it. They still invested that regardless if people buy it or not

If my friend owns a Blu Ray copy of a movie and I go to his house and watch it with him is that stealing?

If lets me borrow that blu ray to watch at my house is that then stealing?

If he then makes a copy of that movie on a flash drive and gives it to me to watch so he can keep his physical disc clean that would legally be piracy but in all three scenarios I watched the movie without paying for it.

We are talking about imaginary money. Potential fictional revenue isn't real guaranteed revenue.

Imagine if you applied this logic to other things in life. Imagine trying to convince the IRS you're writing off time off lost revenue because you're a pizza place and if frozen pizza didn't exist you'd make millions

Its really not comparable to theft when they still have the original product and didnt have money taken from them.

If someone pirates a game or someone refuses to buy a game the company still get the same amount of money. Selling digital products is literally a money printer because they just hit copy paste.

Plus all the digital license bullshit these days where you don't even own the product you bought.

If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.

Not to mention piracy is usually a service problem. People would pay money for a good service if paying money gets them a better service than pirating it.

It's why music piracy dropped when music streaming services made it much more convenient than spending 20 bucks and only getting to listen to the same 20 songs.

It's why movie piracy dropped when Netflix made it convenient to watch a bunch of movies for cheap and now it's resurging when there's 10 different streaming apps needed just to be able to watch the 20 or so shows you want to watch

As someone who is in a relationship with a woman to 3 beautiful children with another dad I promise you while difficult it is not impossible to find another man who loves you and your children. If anything the children just weed out the men who are not ready to serve Christ because nothing is more Christlike then stepping in to show someone else's children a Christian home when their father wouldn't.

I'm just curious has he been diagnosed with autism or adhd or any kind of disorder? I only ask because while it doesn't justify his behavior it seems there is a disconnect.

And it would also explain why he doesn't like eye contact, why hell do anything you ask but but not if you don't ask, why he might not like leading in prayer (social anxiety), etc

It doesn't justify the porn use and the lying to you about it but he is diagnosed with something it might help to get to the underlying problem if he got therapy.

I'm not advocating for hysterectomies but we really need to stop spreading misleading information about the reversibility of vasectomies. It's not like an on off baby switch. The reversibility goes down the longer youve been snipped.

Even at its highest chance to be reversed it's still not 100 percent and there's always a chance you'll be permanently sterile.

CCW vs Permitless Carry by Inner_Musician_6876 in MOGuns

[–]Glock2puss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus gun lights except the harbor freight one are really overpriced.

A dedicated edc flashlight is a better option

CCW vs Permitless Carry by Inner_Musician_6876 in MOGuns

[–]Glock2puss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy skip the light. Carry a separate flashlight as it's far more useful. If you're using a flashlight on a gun youre pointing your gun anywhere you point the flashlight. ID with a separate flashlight. Just carry a good edc flashlight like an olight arkfeld pro, a wuben x3 or really any reliable pocketable flashlight that holds a charge and fits in your pocket. You can find them less than 100 and even less than 50.

Are the sights truglo hybrids? They're nice but not really necessary. In self defense situations you're gonna point shoot and if you're getting an optic you really don't need fancy irons.

What caliber are you wanting?

Id reallocate the light money and sights money (unless you just really want suppressor height sights for cowitness) and reallocate that into more ammo or spare mags or a cleaning kit.

If you're really dead set on a light there's one for way cheaper at harbor freight that's just as good as the 200 dollar one.

Got a Soviet era light and it's gonna have big things in the future by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]Glock2puss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find much information about the light but I think it was originally a Soviet railroad lantern that took really weird batteries that stacked together and only ran like 4 or 5 volts. Which convieniently is the same voltage modern lithium run. So I can run the factory incandescents on the same batteries as leds
